For nature to do Its work. lie
In the silence. In the Dark. Under the al
,srth, Hidden from the Sweet sunlight, the
,alm moonlight, the serene starlight lies the s.
seed. a.
Mysterious forces are at work. Electric g
currents run through the soil touching each al
seed, bidding it yield to the occult
influences that are being brought to bear
upon the under world. The "Sweet infiuen-
ces of the Pleiades' are all potent now. In
their far away courses in the arc of immun-
ity they still have power to reach and utiu-
epoe the tiny grain of seed, sown thoughtful
ly, sown carefully, sown in the prepared field
or sown by the wayside.
By and bye the farmer looks out upon the
field he has sown and lol A miracle.
The dear brown color OF the earth has un
dergone change.
Nature has not dishonored the draft made
upon her. She has not disappointed the
hopes centered in her.
In letters of living green as countless as
the sands upon the sea shore, she bids the
farmer read the promise of seed time and
harvest.
The quioscent, inactive seed has become
virile, natural force, quickened with life, ea-
ger for expansion, looking up to the sunlight, |
the air, the rain, the dew drinking in through |
leafy fibre above and tiny root tendrs be-
low the surface OF the earth, the richer OF
Mother earth.
And the time has come for the farmer to
lay aside his waiting.
He is to begin the labor of watching, until
the Harvest Moon looks down upon the
green field changed to gold, ready for the
gathering.
For the last few weeks we have been
''sowing the seed' in this section of oui
common country.
The seed of Colonization.
Which is to spring ur.to harvest of Real
ization or Disappointment,

Now,
Has the seed failed to germinate and does
it still lie, silent and cold, sodden and sullen,
in the warm soil of Delawarep
The time has now come when there should
be some definite. answer to this question.
If the seed was good seed it has had timt
